Frequently Asked Questions
Questions You May Have:
-
When should I contact Amazing Grace? The sooner you call, the more we can help you, but it is never too late. Whether you are eight weeks pregnant, have just given birth, or are already parenting your child, we are here for you.
-
Why should I consider adoption? Adoption provides real hope for your future and the future of your baby. It gives your child a stable, loving home with a mother and father. Adoption is not abandonment. It is a life-giving, deliberate decision made out of sacrificial love.
-
Does the birthfather have to be included in the adoption process? The birthfather is welcome to participate in the counseling sessions with you if desired. However, you will not be expected to contact him. If he is supportive of the adoption, he can sign his legal paperwork before or after the child’s birth. Adoption laws can be confusing. Our counselor will discuss the birthfather’s rights with you according to your personal circumstances.
-
Will I be able to be involved in choosing a family for my baby? Yes, you can choose and meet with a family for your baby. All prospective adoptive families have been through the “homestudy” process, which reviews medical history, background checks, and financial information, as well as several interviews.
-
How will I know how my baby is doing after the adoption? Adoptive families send pictures and reports of the child to Amazing Grace that we will forward on to you. Additional contact is worked out on an individual basis.
